Classic Third Cinema Films

Below is a list of classic films of Third Cinema. These films are widely viewed as the “greatest hits” of Third Cinema, for their commitment to the principles of Third Cinema and their innovative forms. Please note that many other films have engaged Third Cinema's ideological project, challenged social inequality, and confronted dominant political ideologies. Please let me know of any major omissions!

Unfortunately, many of these films are out-of-print and are difficult to obtain for personal viewing. However, public and university libraries are likely to have these films available for viewing and it is well worth the effort to find them. You may also be able to find them on Netflix or at a local independent video store which specializes in foreign film.
